Scammer alert: If you get a text telling you that you have been in contact with someone who has COVID-19, with a link to information on how to get tested, DO NOT click on the link. If you have been in close contact with someone who tests positive, a nurse from the county health department will call you. You may get a text asking you to call the health department, but there won’t be a link on it. Gallatin City County Health Department isn’t using tracker apps, so any text connected with one of them is likely a scam. If you are concerned, you can call the COVID-19 Call Center at 406-548-0123. Note that legitimate contact tracing may result in two calls, one from your medical provider regarding your care and one from the health department regarding public health.
